My latest belt knife. Special made for Erin Ehlert. 9"x1 1/4"x 3//16" distal tapered blade of 01 steel. Tapered tang with mild steel bolsters and bone slab grips. Very lightly aged. Hope you enjoy a look.

All of it Boartooth. Why do you ask? I make my own blades from 01 bar stock and the grips from raw materials. I also do the heat treat.

Well,as I mentioned earlier,I have a sword that is quite old.One educated laymans' estimate was 16th century.It has engraving and a Cyrillic makers' mark.I'm speculating it may have been made for the Ottoman Navy.At any rate it appears to have been a predecessor to the cutlass in design I'm interested in finding out how much it might cost me to get it re-gripped,and possibly a new scabbard made.just so I know if it's possible,financially.

For the re-gripping, I would recommend you contact Kyle Willyard at http://www.olddominionforge.com/
I am no expert on swords, but Kyle is.

I doubt I will take on more orders before next year. Maybe trade scalpers sooner than that.

Great looking knife. Looks like the one Mark Baker is using in the longhunter 5 dvd. Did you make his too?

It's a great style and very handy for many jobs. Here's mine, the bone is stained.

NWTF long hunter, A very nice knife, and almost a perfect profile for one I offer with a partial tang. Your leather is also top notch. Good looking outfit. Wattlebuster, no, I did not make Mark Bakers knife. It was made by George Ainslie, as best I recall, who copied it from one thought to be French in Madison Grant's book.
